I agree. He seems like someone who read a dog training for dummies book and never really paid attention. He's not metering his force in the corrections and just dominating the dog. Very similar to parents who don't understand the difference between a tap on a child's arm and a slap.tailwagging":1r1981ms said:just watched the clips and read the main page, none of the links. it shows that who wrote this does not understand basic obedience training. while i consider most of his corrections too hard there were reasons for the corrections. they were not "for no apparent reason.."
swing the pup around was too forceful, the correction was to get the pup back to the side were it was suppose to be.
the dorber was suppose to be watch the him the handler, not the cameraman and the correction was called a "pop" which it a very quick yet forceful "pop" of the lead. the amount of force and amount of usage in a training session depends on the size and amount of training the dog has had.and what level of ob the dog is training for. the yelp was of surprise not pain. this one i do not conciser too forceful.
the spaniel kick was very uncalled for type of correction same with dog and the ball.
Who talked about slapping being OK?Secuono":66195b8n said:If y'all don't think he was being over the top/cruel, then please stay very far away from my animals. Don't want you to 'slap' my cat and kill it...
Secuono":1oltvreg said:Those dog's weren't wagging their tails in happiness, those were wags to appease the angry man. Everytime he moved towards them, they would cower and shy away. Clear sign he's been beating on them constantly. That's cruelty. They shouldn't be living in fear. None of the jerking was justifiable, he paused, waited, then whacked them. Even if it was a proper correction, the timing was far too off for them to make the connection. He's lucky none of those dogs turned on him and ripped him up.

as for the dob
one good strong correction is worth a thousands nagging corrections.

one good strong correction is worth a thousands nagging corrections. with a dog as big as a dob and can have a drive as some dobs have and the work that many dobs are asked to do you better have a dog that understands that what you ask of it, it should do. now. not when it decides to watch you or listen to you.
I wouldn't want a large,driven dog that i couldn't call off.
I also feel that the owner of these dogs are at blame as well. if you are going to own a dog you need to know how to work/train your dog. not just sent it off for someone else to do the work.
now in all honesty i do at times send my show pup/dog/bitch off to the handler and she trains it but she is also showing it so a working bond needs to be between them.
